Tips on buying Bio-Spira[edit]

  • This product has a best-before-date. So ensure the date indicates that the product is still fresh and has at least 6 months of life left.

Spectrum Brands bought over Marineland Labs in late 2006 and shut the California facility down and merged it with Tetra. Sprectrum moved the Bio-Spira production to the Tetra facility in Melle Germany. Safestart uses the same patent (EP1282688) as BIO-Spira.
